The Silicon Chip Inside The ONT Is Switched To Overload

I tell you, I have no pep tonight. I'm lacking motivation to write the ONT. Maybe I should just pound some beers and go on Amazon.

I had a friend who did this and bought a full Star Wars stormtrooper outfit. He was never sure what he was thinking, but he managed to sell it for a profit later on, so I guess he wasn't the only drunk shopper.

Are The Police Losing The Goodwill Of The Right?

popo.jpg


The modern left has always hated the police, going back to their radical roots in the 60s (remember the '68 Dem convention?). The right has generally sided with the police, since we are more the law and order types. The caveat here is that we want both law and order, and what we're seeing now strikes many of us as order without the backing of law, or worse, forced order in opposition to the rule of law. There are all kinds of stories in the media about police overreach as they attempt to enforce some of the more draconian edicts coming from the petty tyrants that many of our elected officials turned out to be.


Governments incur fury by banning safe activities during coronavirus lockdown

Idaho Mom Playing in Park with Her Children Arrested for Disobeying 'No Trespassing' Orders

Raleigh Police Department: 'Protesting Is a Non-Essential Activity'

'Corona bologna': Bodycam video shows business owner being cited for staying open during pandemic

I could go on all night. The interesting thing to note here is that I'm seeing a lot of push back against the cops from people on the right. I grabbed the above image from a right wing website, ditto this one:

back blue.jpg

It does not bode well for the future if this crisis manages to divorce the police from their traditional base of support. I can think of few quicker ways to get to a police state than to have the police hated by everybody.

Speaking Of Long Term Damage


How about the damage being done to the supply chains in this country? I haven't really noticed anything beyond spot shortages in the stores, like TP when this started and today, ramen noodle soup (seriously folks, can't y'all cook?). What I have noticed is that there is fewer of everything on the shelves. I don't know if that's because of shortages, or if stores are only bringing out a limited number of each item to prevent hoarding.


As Dairies Dump Milk, Frustration Mounts Over Retail Buying Limits

One Restaurant’s Story Shows How Recession Spreads


Bjs Wholesale had a really good price on porterhouse steaks the other day. Now normally when this happens, I'd load up, but there were only 6 packages out. I didn't take them all, if there had been 20 I would have bought at least ten and vacuum sealed them use over the coming months, but I contented myself with taking only a few, so maybe it is working. The results, however....

It won't matter how quickly we get back to work if there is no way to get what we produce to market.


On Small Businesses

Most of you know that I'm an insurance agent. What I do is work with small businesses primarily, helping them with their health coverage. Frequently this involves working with new businesses and keeping in contact with them while they grow. There's a lady I've been working with for about a year in Houston. She's a florist, and it's been exciting watching her business grow. She had a setback when she had to go take care of her ailing mother for a couple of months, but when I spoke to her in February, she was excited because things were almost to the point where she could afford benefits. Mid-April was the target.

Then the shutdown happened. When I spoke to her this week, she said she hadn't had a single order since March 15. She had used most of her savings up just keeping the business afloat. She'll probably wind up losing everything she has worked so hard for, but for now she's still hanging on by her fingertips. If any of y'all know anyone in the greater Houston area that could use some flowers (and who couldn't, in times like these?), well...why not place an order?

Also, protip: If you want to send someone flowers, take a couple of extra minutes and find a local florist to contact directly instead of using the big clearinghouses services. The locals will almost always match any deals being offered, and the big order taking firms take a huge cut off the top. Give your custom directly to the little guy.


Tell Me Why

‘I don’t like Mondays’: School shooter Brenda Spencer’s bid for freedom

Question: If someone is a psycho at 16, is she likely to be cured 40 years later? Or at least no longer a danger to others? I dunno. I can see it going either way.

I mentioned this on Twitter and had someone ask me how I thought the Boomtown Rats felt about their song being the inspiration for a shooting.

One night I apparently bought my brother a pair of footy cat pajamas and a subscription to Cat Fancy magazine addressed to Tom Fancy Pants Smith (not his real first/last name but you get the idea). The payoff on the joke was that I had no recollection of doing it. It wasn't until a year later, after one of his teenage kids mentioned in passing how amused they got when the magazine showed up every other month and how annoyed my brother got, that I thought to check my Amazon order history. I got to take credit for a year very slow burn joke.

Our emergency notification we got on our phones this afternoon said she "strongly encourages" everyone to wear masks when they leave their house.

I imagine some will follow that, some will not.

But I imagine a bunch of stores will not make it mandatory to have a mask on before entering their stores.

What I have noticed in CO over the past two weeks is people going out more and more. The highways were a ghost town two weeks ago, now they're filling up again. Nothing like normal traffic, but it ain't nothing.

And the cops are responding. Not to people breaking "lockdown" but their traffic enforcement is through the roof. Every cop is active, a bunch are pulling down OT and they're writing tickets like they're going out of style.

That's gonna breed some tremendous good will for sure. This state has brutal traffic enforcement under normal circumstances and drives a lot of bad blood. Now, though, it is becoming completely insane even by our normally terrible standards.

So - the order should give the lifeguards (still the much-reduced winter seasonal staffing level) no time to do anything but police the restrictions.

83 Personally, I am pretty depressed about all this stuff now. After the cell phone message we were sent, I had a department call-in meeting and our manager said...

(1) while our plants are still planning on re-opening on 05/04, the rest of us who can work from home should expect to remain working from home through June

(2) when we do eventually go back to the office, "it will be different"

He mentioned

--- only 3 entrances to the building will be open (this is a building the size of a mall and has a LOT of entrances)
--- we will have to use some phone app to fill out a health questionnaire and take our temperatures every morning before being allowed in the building
--- all walkways will now be one-way
--- only 2 people per elevator
--- "social distancing" on escalators
--- conference rooms will have chairs marked as chairs we are allowed to sit in to maintain "social distancing"

And I got the feeling that this is the "new normal".

There was some discussion of people going out on their jet skis again and some Karen stated "if people would just follow the order, we won't have the privileges taken away from us again".

And then a male Karen chimed in with something along the lines of "we're learning a good lesson from this and we have to take those lessons going forward..." blah blah whatever.

I hung up on the conference call after that, because I was ready to explode.

But after I calmed down about an hour later, I just started getting really depressed.

This "new normal" thing seems to be real. And it hit me that the "climate change" jackoffs got exactly what they wanted.

And I don't know how the hell --- with all the fucking Karens out there who have completely bought into this shit --- we ever get things back to the normal we had just 6+ weeks ago.

84 I'd accept an Executive Order from Trump, to me personally.

Charging me with the storage location(s) and retrieval forthwith of all small arms ammunition purchased for *any* Federal Agency, during the Obama Administration.

Such to be turned over to the Director of Civilian Marksmanship at "truckload intervals".

My small Department would carry a temporary Federal L.E.O. commission, under the U.S. Marshall's Department, so that searches and confiscations could be carried out, in most cases, with some modicum of smoothness and civility.

For those who resist, well, that's why being backed by the U.S. Marshall would be a *thing*, here.

I'd happily work for a GS scale equivalent of a Major in the Armed Forces. Necessary, as that's the lowest rank at which one is a Field Grade Officer, vs. "Junior Officer".

Oh, and one final thing.

I get to keep 1% of all ammunitions, of my selection.

That'd still make me an Ammunition Millionaire!

85 In Re: Police


There have always been tyrannical and corrupt police officers. Fiction is full of them - in Philip Marlowe stories, the classic Southern Sheriff, Roscoe P. Coltrane, Sheriff Lobo, those in the Godfather movies, those in Serpico, et cetera.


If this is a surprise to anyone I can only wonder where that person has been hiding - such as which rock he or she was under. Humans can be corrupt and evil and stupid. Police officers* are humans, therefore police officers can be corrupt and evil and stupid.

*But not Robocop or ED-209.

I got something similar from our crisis chief yesterday. When we reopen and people go back to work instead of being sequestered at home, the requirements will be:
- Social distancing (which means a third or so of the workforce will have to remain work-from-home - cube farms put you within a few feet of your neighbors)
- Illness requirements (so much as a throat tickle, stay home)
- Masks will be required
- Gatherings (read: meetings) of more than 10 people will be forbidden. Large gatherings will be virtual only.
- Employees will have to participate in "contact tracing."*

* That one is called out as a maybe. I hope it doesn't happen, because I might lose my job over it. I will never participate in a Big-Tech+Big-Gov panopticon scheme that tracks my whereabouts and associations in real time all the time. Screw that and screw them.

Whitmer has ordered us to wear masks in all stores, but they can be home made. I made one out of a sample of Depends. It goes over my whole head like a ski mask and I peer out the leg holes. I want to write something on the back of my head (the butt of the Depends) that expresses my displeasure with the situation. 5 words or less so it's big enough for folks to read it at social distance.

173 What pisses me off is how the goalposts have been moved.

Initially, the justification for the shutdowns was that we wanted to "flatten the curve" - keep the number of daily cases low enough that the hospitals would not be overwhelmed by CCP virus cases.

That made sense - we didn't want to be like Lombardy, where everyone over 60 with CCP virus was left to die because the hospitals were so overwhelmed.

So, we succeeded magnificently - the emergency rooms in 95% of the country are nearly deserted.

So, we start relaxing the restrictions, because the hospitals can handle a lot more cases, right?

Well, no. In the blue states, we are now told that things have to be shut down until there is mass testing and contact tracing - which realistically will take perhaps a year to achieve. I don't think that the blue state governors think they can hold out that long, but the obvious intention is to crash the economy long enough to deny Trump reelection.

Bastards (and bitches).

203 I knew something was wrong with the popo in this country when they started buying surplus Soviet BTR's for "riot control".

You are talking about the 1033 Program. Its a corrupt and graft ridden path to put powerful weapons used in combat in the hands of LEOs for the purpose of subduing and killing as many civilians as possible.

After Ferguson Riots, the Obama administration through EO 13688 prohibited LEAs from obtaining weaponized aircraft, tracked armored vehicles, .50BMG and larger weapons and ammunition, grenade launchers, digital camo uniforms and bayonets. Because LEOs need bayonets, heavy artillery, tanks and grenades for enforcing Shelter At Home orders.

The EO also required training for other items like armored vehicles, drones, bombs/explosives and riot gear before those items could be acquired.

In his first year of office Trump undid Barry's EO so that once again LEAs can obtain weaponized aircraft, tanks, heavily artillery, grenades and bayonets - along with the usual bombs, riot gear and equipment for smashing down doors - this time without the pesky requirement of training.

Thanks Trump for militarizing the Domestic Police State so they can more effectively wipe out whole towns and villages like the pros in the military.

I have to change my habits when I go to visit my folks in TN. There, the speed limit is more like loose guidance, and TN drivers treat the highways like thunderdome in the cities. The streets are fine, but the highways are a place you'd better come correct.

What saved me the second time was that my actual (senior) pastor was skipping the Christmas Eve/Day services a couple days later because he was out sick with the regular flu (or so we assumed at the time, who knows now).

I'm an optimistic sort by nature and also a born cynic. Also a magnificent realist. Truthfully it's difficult to pigeonhole me.

That said, I think we will find a level that is more normal than everyone thinks, quicker than everyone thinks. It's human nature. People want to live a certain way and there are enough of us that will just do it, especially as the virus burns out. They can't stop everyone from living their life forever. Yet.

Right now we are still in the fog of war. Most people can't judge shit with bullets flying by their head and explosions all around. There *appears* to be some kind of shifting balance of power, and also an attempt at obvious commie brainwashing which starts with rewiring our entire way of life. From the usual gaslighters.

But I don't think it's all going to be as easy as it seems to be right now. Most of the world is in some kind of lockdown, so that's where we are. Right now.

Yes, people have accepted it seemingly too willingly but they were shown and told there was an apparent danger. Worldwide. Accompanying the ratcheting of fear was the very legitimate suspicion that this is an ***engineered bioweapon*** designed and released by an enemy of the world. That has helped cow everyone and for what I would still call a very logical and sensible reason.

But we won't stay cowed forever. Water finds a level, same as freedom. Watch.

I have to change my habits when I go to visit my folks in TN. There, the speed limit is more like loose guidance, and TN drivers treat the highways like thunderdome in the cities. The streets are fine, but the highways are a place you'd better come correct.

Driving through Nashville at the tail end of rush hour with heavy, dense traffic moving at 80 was ... unexpected. To go the speed limit in that case would be to court disaster.

last Monday I left DFW headed east on 1-20, it's always a pretty fast moving road, but this time it was really nice since traffic was so much lighter than usual, it's like it was 30 years ago. So I was feeling good with the open road and was cruising at about 90 (had 100 miles to go) I was able to hold there almost the whole way, but I did notice that at least 6 or 7 people passed me on the way, and one of them just blew by. It's why I was never worried about police, I had those guys running interference in front of me.

but the police were all obeying the stay at home orders that day.

They always called me for advice and I always gave them the same advice: "Assume it's crap and that they're trying to rob you. If you're worried about, do *NOT* click any links or call any phone numbers in the E-Mail. Open a new tab and go directly to the site (PayPal, Amazon, whatever), log in and look to see if you have any alerts. You probably won't, because these are all scams."

This is what they do now. Just treat *everything* as if it is attempted fraud and go directly to the source.

272 214 What's scary is I get similar email from [my pastor], and somehow they must have had access to his email because parts of it matched his writing style. The first time I blew it off because I was pissed at him about something unrelated, and just never mentioned it. The second time I responded and it got as far as explaining "he" needed $500 in some manner of gift cards for some cancer victims he was visiting, so could I buy them and send him the ID (I'm not sure how that would even work).

What saved me the second time was that my actual (senior) pastor was skipping the Christmas Eve/Day services a couple days later because he was out sick with the regular flu (or so we assumed at the time, who knows now).

my brother helps run a charitable organization, one which has a Pastor overseeing it. They got some emails to accounts that should not have been public, that sounded exactly like the Pastor's tone - somebody had definitely hacked into their system. Luckily he recognized it and warned everyone except one guy who was very nice but not very bright, and that employee decided that if the Pastor was telling him to go buy 2 $250 Google Play Cards and mail them to some address (which turned out to be a drop box under a fake name), well he should go do it. At least he was stopped before he put the envelope in the mail!

293 "Question: If someone is a psycho at 16, is she likely to be cured 40 years later?"

Short answer: No. Once a psycho always a psycho.

Long answer: If a psycho *seems* cured 40 years later, they've either learned how to get along in society even though they don't share any true emotional connections with anyone, or they were never truly a psycho to begin with.

About 2 to 3% of people, mostly males, are real psychopaths or sociopaths. Real psychos develop early from unknown causes and share certain traits in young childhood, even though their psychopathy often isn't apparent until late teens or later. However a well adjusted psychopath can often get along well in life, not harm anyone, and even achieve great things because they're not encumbered by a pesky conscience. It's the ones who get enjoyment from hurting others who are a danger to society.

This is how I view it. I learned that from my dad. Interestingly, though, it isn't that way anymore. Back in the early aughts, he suffered a grievous head trauma. He nearly died. His doctors were a bunch of magicians who saved his life, but he had a long convalescence and rehab (took about a year before he was mostly normal, and about two years before he was 100%).

He had only one noticeable personality change: he now enjoys shopping. He is no longer the "man on a mission" when he goes into a store. He likes to linger, take his time and just shop.

301 Interestingly, it seems to be younger people who are accepting of this shit. It used to be the younger people who were rebellious.

Its the soy.

Many are incapable of acting without consulting others or seeking group approval. For example, a local real-estate agent when showing homes to Mills rents a club can because the potential buyer needs the approval of his/her peers before taking any action.

I remember telling a crude joke in the presence of a couple young guys. They didn't know how to react, so they looked at each, reading the other's expression trying to get a clue on how they are supposed to react.

Its sort of like dogs. When approaching a stranger the dog is tuned in to the owner's reaction, no matter how subtle. if she is slightly scared of the stranger, the dog can pick this up either in reading her expression, or a change in the leash tension, or something. Based on this the dog would kick in to the rewarded defense mode.

Right now, the propaganda apparatus is working full time to reward subservience and enslavement. This generation is incapable of making decisions on their own or even knowing how to react to a given situation - they need guidance at every level.

Then they become indisputable experts on whatever new position they have been assigned.

Dude... this phenomenon has led to more arguments with the different women in my life, more than anything.

Before smartphones, I'd make a list on a Post-It, just like my mother taught me, buy the things, cross them off, and leave after paying.

After smartphones, it's even better. I can make lists categorized by part of store, with checkboxes, indents, contingent lists of other ingredients, and so on; the whole thing is awesome and I can sweep through the store efficiently using a simple notepad app.

But every woman I've ever been with violently abhors this practice. They refuse to even consider the idea that they should possibly navigate a supermarket in a planned way, instead of just roaming through it like a lion in the Serengeti.

If you have 16GB system RAM, you actually have 16 less what the GPU happens to be demanding at any given time. If it lists the VRAM as "total", then it's a discrete GPU with its own dedicated RAM.

she hates going to the store with me, because that takes time, but she is always amazed at how much we get for so little. my aunt, who lives alone, spends $400/week, just for herself.

379 One Restaurant's Story Shows How Recession Spreads

I call B.S. People aren't eating less; anecdotal evidence indicates that they're eating more. They're buying less from restaurants, but more from grocers. If there are empty carriers, there are higher demands on other carriers: carriers that might've been less than full before but are now full up.

Bloomberg is as stupid as ever. Like all economists, they get hung up on the supply side of things and what supply disruptions might become. BUT THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO FORGET THE DEMAND SIDE! If the supply is disrupted, it doesn't mean that the demand has evaporated.

I also put them down by category (as much as possible) such as frozen, refrigerator, pantry, bathroom, etc. Makes it easier for the bagger to bag everything which gets me out of the store just that much faster.

I think it might be the reverse? Sociopath tends to get their jollies fucking shit up and being angry at the world. A psychopath lacks a conscience. Psychopaths have a much higher percentage of representation high up in politics and business because of the easy in which they manipulate non-psychopaths (normal people), and the lack of guilt for fucking people over for their own advancement.

It's the reason we look at a lot of these politicians and think "lizard person".

There is a such thing as a "low personality" which can get mistaken for a psychopath - I think those are often the sociopaths.

Top of the evening to you, Winston.

Interesting comparison of Inslee to Biden. I never thought about it before, but yes, I agree.

Nationally, the Horde has witnessed the slimy, lying airhead known as Joe Biden over the last 4 decades.

Inslee is becoming the new Biden. He doesn't have an independent thought in his head to save his life.

When the local press or Seattle billionaires tell him to jump, he immediately responds with "how high, ma'am?"

Fuchhead is becoming a more dangerous threat to working WA state citizens than Communist China.

I'm thinking of some drastic measures need to start if this effing disaster continues.

Well, for starters, Washington is a "shall carry" state. And bars are closed, which other than courtrooms are the only guaranteed restricted places you can't open carry.

But you can openly carry while walking a pet down the sidewalk, for instance. Or playing in a local park, for example.

440 Biden jokes aside, an extremely good psychopath detection in everyday life is "I sure like X but there's something about him/her (usually him) I can't quite put my finger on".

Run a mile if you have one of these in your life. Especially a new one. A mile. For the most part, they do understand the word "no". They don't like it one bit and they will fight you on it, but once they see you have put up the proverbial brick wall and they can't "get anything" from you, they tend to move on to someone from whom they can.

I have done it several times. One was with a woman in a business setting. Once I decided I was "done" (and that she was almost definitely a psychopath), I had "the conversation".

Also they tend to have a vacant smile. Their eyes don't light up. The problem is they also tend to have an oddly charming smile.

I remember looking up the difference between pyschopaths and sociopaths. The terms are used almost interchangeably, and people will get them mixed up. And to top it off, there is no official diagnosis/condition that uses either term, just various shades of "antisocial personality disorder" and shit like that.

Now, psychopaths are the ones without a conscious. They have no empathy (there is some debate on whether they do have it, but are just capable of shutting it off, and do so by default). You might think these are related to narcissists, but they are two different things.

They figure about 4% of the population are psychopaths and interestingly, they gravitate to certain jobs and professions over others. CEOs, laywers, media personalities, and even preachers are some of the jobs with higher psychopathy. And yes, police as well.

Sociopaths are not without conscious, they are just sort of messed up and have uncontrollable tendencies.

A sociopath might say pick up a girl at a bar, take her home, hoping for something nice. But then he gets her home and she says something that reminds him of his mother, and so he freaks out and kills her brutally.

A psychopath, provided he gets off on it (and few do), would carefully plan out the murder and meticulously execute it.

He could walk out of the murder scene, and happen to bump into a cop and wouldn't flinch and could carry on a friendly, casual conversation. He has no conscious.

The confusion of psychopathy with raving nutjobs comes from other similar terms like "psychotic", "psychosis" and similar.

It was not the mere length of your nic, as shown in the number of characters. You'd had the longer for a while, with no problems.

What did it though, is when you embedded a live URL into your nic.

That made it into an overly long LINK, which a great phone browsers can't resolve without vast margin re-alignment.

The live URL was just like posting a link to some crazy long URL in the body of a comment, and NOT using TinyURL to bring it down to size.

THAT is what blew the margins.

Not the long nic.

Until that long nic subsequently acquired a LINK.

Then, it was "ooopsie time".

true story, god as my witness-
Years ago my brother played one of my guitars, and had to have one. It was around $1000 in the earlier 90's. His wife counters by buying a 25K new car. It didn't directly lead to the divorce, but was definitely a few blocks in the foundation. Maybe 15 years later I'm at his house and he pulls it out, and its dead mint, barely played. I start playing it and its just fantastic, it played by mind control, so I'm in my zone and my brother says in a reflective tone "yeah, that guitar cost me the first wife"

I stop playing, I looked down at the guitar, reflected on it's awesomeness, looked at him, and in my best Lo-pan voice I said "you have chosen wisely". lol

All good info. But remember that it's only a small percentage of psychopaths that happen to get off on violent murderous shit and then act it out.

Even though they are without conscience, most psychopaths understand that there are *consequences* to being violent and murderous, usually involving things like prison - and their capacity for self-preservation is far more important to them than anything else. Just like normal people.

They tend to get along in life on the right side of the law but along the way, they create a path of emotional destruction and leave behind a lot of very confused and abused people.

Its not a recommendation to vote for anyone. What we have here is further evidence that Trump is a very trusting person that sees the glass half full.

He says he wants to reduce this nation's military presence in other countries, and I can believe that. Yet he wants to dramatically amp up the military's ability to wage war.

I lay odds he doesn't want to see a police state, but then he removes impediments from departments acquiring weapons of war and mass destruction.

We see this naive trust and tendency to see the best in people - so he allows himself to be surrounded and advised by saboteurs and his enemies.

Oh yes, very few of them cross that line. But when they do, they are very good at it.

I'm trying to remember something I remember I read about some experiments some group was doing. IIRC, they found some way to suppress the empathy center of the brain with drugs (or maybe it was some crazy external EM field) or something. They subjected themselves to that.

The idea was to see what it would be like to be a psychopath. Once they were in the empathy off state, they were shown very emotionally harsh images, like the guy in Vietnam about the get his brains blow out, or the naked little girl screaming in pain from napalm.

And other brutal shit like that. I remember one of them said he thought, "Hey, look at the funny faces those people are making. That's hilarious." Empathy off, there is no normal reaction to others in pain and extreme distress.

Of course, whether that is how a real pyschopath sees thing, who knows. That's how a normal person with his brain altered in a certain way perceived it.

Most, (actually all) presidential candidates have been planning on running for president since they won a seat in Student Council in fifth grade. They have their lists of friends and associates planned out to the level of who will be the third under-secretary for the Department of Agriculture.

Trump didn't plan his whole life for this or have such a list. He has been hampered from day one from getting his people approved. He has had to pick from a pool of people that he cannot truly trust.

Mr Barky, spot on.

Here is an idea, maybe every WA citizen not enamored with the desire to eat Communist Chinese hole, should email Insree (how Jay pronounces it, being a Chinese stooge and all) a copy of Article I, Section I of the WA state Constitution.

Text of Section 1:
Political Power

"All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights."

Email this to Jay Insree.

530 Its not a recommendation to vote for anyone. What we have here is further evidence that Trump is a very trusting person that sees the glass half full.

He says he wants to reduce this nation's military presence in other countries, and I can believe that. Yet he wants to dramatically amp up the military's ability to wage war.

I lay odds he doesn't want to see a police state, but then he removes impediments from departments acquiring weapons of war and mass destruction.

We see this naive trust and tendency to see the best in people - so he allows himself to be surrounded and advised by saboteurs and his enemies.

He can't or won't recognize evil.

Yeah right. I vividly remember the photos when the Boston police were rolling through the town looking like a Moscow May Day parade when they were on the manhunt for one of the marathon bombers.

Among the photos of people young and old violently pulled out of their homes and thrown in the street while camo and body armed clad LEOs tore up one house after another, the one that was the most terrifying was the shot where a LEO, sitting in a tank was aiming a full auto .50 BMG at a guy looking out the second story window.

The photo was from the downrange position. Think about that. Either it was a staged photo or the LEO held that gun position long enough to focus and get the shot off.

These rabid animals, jacked up on adrenaline and amped up on the thought of wasting some punk with tank busting gear was better than Viagra.

They were just as willing to blow away grandpa as they were to some young asshole terrorist they could barely identify.

How safe do you feel when some itchy trigger finger LEO has a .50BMG aimed at point blank range at your head and wants to kill something NOW?

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at April 25, 2020 12:07 AM (f1Vqw)


Window shopping is the worst. Spending hours strolling 5th Ave with the ex looking into all the clothes displays in the windows, 'getting ideas'. Watching paint dry is a better use of time.

How about perusing the NYTimes Sunday travel section planning imaginary vacations? I hate that shit. But a real vacation, going to some real place I've never been before? Then I'll do my research and make plans/reservations.

Posted by: RickZ at April 25, 2020 12:20 AM (Y8PSl)

586 Yeah right. I vividly remember the photos when the Boston police were rolling through the town looking like a Moscow May Day parade when they were on the manhunt for one of the marathon bombers.

Among the photos of people young and old violently pulled out of their homes and thrown in the street while camo and body armed clad LEOs tore up one house after another, the one that was the most terrifying was the shot where a LEO, sitting in a tank was aiming a full auto .50 BMG at a guy looking out the second story window.

The photo was from the downrange position. Think about that. Either it was a staged photo or the LEO held that gun position long enough to focus and get the shot off.

These rabid animals, jacked up on adrenaline and amped up on the thought of wasting some punk with tank busting gear was better than Viagra.

They were just as willing to blow away grandpa as they were to some young asshole terrorist they could barely identify.

How safe do you feel when some itchy trigger finger LEO has a .50BMG aimed at point blank range at your head and wants to kill something NOW?

593 Hmmm, wasn't the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013? Wasn't Barack Obama president up to and through most of 2017?

The EO was issued in response to the Ferguson Riots. If you recall, the police were wrongfully accused of all kinds of awful things while thugs were being venerated as saints.

AG Holder decided that LEOs couldn't be trusted with 1033 gear anymore and recommended the eventual EO.

The EO apparently wasn't all that a high priority, and for all we know it was a vanity move - at that time Hitlary was expected to win the Presidential Sweepstakes so it likely was not a hobbling thing, but more of a BLM vote buying measure.

Obama didn't care then and doesn't care now about America so I would read anything more than craven politics and vote buying out of his EO.

That may have been part of the motivation of Trump to rescind it. I don't know - I'm not in either guy's head.

I do know that many Libertarian organizations like the John Birch Society warned, as far back as the 1960s about the militarization of the domestic LEA.

I have my father's and grandfather's hand tools and a few of their power tools, like drills, jigsaws, sanders, etc. They have lasted.

Nowadays, tools like pressure washers, paint sprayers, saws, drills have fancy features and specialization uses and many are cordless and come with a big price tag. But a short useful life. This blows my mind.

661 I admit to being a bit of a weirdo in that I normally like grocery shopping. And I'll make trips to different stores for different things. Trader Joes is good for wine and cheese. Aldis is the best place to pick up things like trash bags, TP, and paper plates and napkins. If I want really good meat and fish for a special I'll go to Sendik's a specialty store here.

When I lived close by I liked to go to Whole Foods for produce because it's so pretty there. The one in Milwaukee is below a medical clinic, which is really kind of genius placement. You get off the elevator after being lectured by your doctor about weight and exercise and your cholesterol level. You're vowing to do better and then and you look up and there's the produce department and it's all arranged so nicely. "That's it! No more Fritos! I'm gonna buy some lettuce and broccoli right now!"

That is why you buy them at pawnshops.

Most of those tools will only be used for one project, will languish in the garage for a little while and then you can buy them second hand and barely used.

It seems like whenever I do that, I'll get home and try it on and it won't fit right or hang right. I've become very leery of buying clothes online for that reason. I ordered a top from Zulily and the sleeves were too long. I wouldn't have bought it if I had been able to try it on first.

678 I call B.S. People aren't eating less; anecdotal evidence indicates that
they're eating more. They're buying less from restaurants, but more
from grocers. If there are empty carriers, there are higher demands on
other carriers: carriers that might've been less than full before but
are now full up.

Bloomberg is as stupid as ever. Like all
economists, they get hung up on the supply side of things and what
supply disruptions might become. BUT THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO FORGET THE
DEMAND SIDE! If the supply is disrupted, it doesn't mean that the demand
has evaporated.

The supply chains are parallel, but for the most part they don't cross. Everything is centralized now, into big plants designed to do one thing that can't adapt to do another. Example: Restaurant milk is usually packaged in 2 1/2 gal bags or larger containers. That's that the milk plants are designed to produce, and there is not a lot of demand for 2 1/2 gal bags of milk in the consumer market. To retool to package milk in cartons would cost millions, and it would all be a waste in a few months when the demand for milk is back to the big bags as restaurants reopen. Meanwhile the plants that package milk in cartons are running at capacity. Another example: The wing industry is sitting on millions and millions of wings with little demand for them (wings are mostly a restaurant food), and even if there were demand, they are only set up to sell them in 30 lb lots. How many homes are looking to buy 30lbs of wings?
We've created a very, very efficient system - when things are normal. But like most systems designed to be hyper efficient it is quite brittle.

Some quality measuring tools in the local Pawn Shops around here. Micrometers, calipers, pin-gauges and more.

And the brute force tools can be good deals, too.

Heavy chains, come-alongs and such.

But, as to most power tools? You're spot on. Worn out consumer grade junk, at retail.

ONE shop near me has a good system of lowering prices, the longer the item has been at retail.

Makes for some good sniping. I got a 110 v., corded B&W hedge clipper, near new, for $7.

Works like a champ, it does.

685 On shopping for the sake of shopping:


I like to peruse the garden centers, not necessarily in order to purchase anything, but to gain inspiration. If I really like a display, often I can copy it for a fraction of the store's "ready to go" price...


There's not much I can do here but 'window-shop' these days-- cruising the garden shop is just about my only leisure and gives me immense pleasure.


Hubby hates it, so I try to go alone. He bitches about any plants that I buy, even though I usually spend less than $50 per season. (Wth? I still w*rk fulltime...we can afford it.) This year, I'm finished at roughly $20 worth.


Grocery shopping is a necessary evil! Some days I have *no idea* what to cook!! Sorry, but I'm one of 'those people' who wanders aimlessly sometimes, trying to figure out what's for supper.


Would be nice if hubby could get in on the grocery/cooking action, but no dice, so folks will just have to put up with my wanderings, tough sh!t, LOL!

The Lowe's and Home Depots around here carry the cheap stuff, and they also carry the more expensive stuff. Northern will carry the heavier duty stuff as well.

And, if all else fails, Grainger carries the good stuff, although you'll pay for it, unless you're a pretty high volume customer.

I bought a DeWalt DW364K circular saw from Grainger, when no one else had it, just the cheaper models.

That thing will last my lifetime.

All of the finest, High Quality tools, and unlike Grainger, they're all out on display were you can see them, be tempted by them, be seduced by them and succumb to them.

It is a very, very dangerous place.

I'm getting all hepped up for a little project. I'm drilling a new well, for the new house. They're gonna need water pretty early on (brick masons), and I've got to get water to the site.

The current well situation is a long story, but I always wanted to try to sink a good well with as high a capacity as can be mustered, and put in some frost proof stand faucets around the shop and shed area.

And that's what I'm gonna do. I've got 3-phase in the shop, and I'm gonna use a 3-phase pump motor. But I've got to get said 3-phase feed out of the shop and to the well. Well is going right behind a new pole shed, and I'm gonna run a 3-phase feed out there, and then run a circuit from there to the well.

So I'm gonna be doing some digging next week. I was trying to decide what size feed to use, determined by wire cost and all that.

I've settled on using #6 Al USE cable. And that will allow to wire up that new shed right with lights and outlets galore, another project I've been meaning to get around to.

For the well itself, I ought not to count chickens before they hatch, but this spot will be pretty good, I hope. There's an old bored well nearby, one my father put in back in '60 when he built his house here. It's abandoned now. They hit water at 22' and went on another 10' or so.

By bored well, I mean the much large diameter shallow types with "terra cotta" like liners. It used a jet pump and foot valve, and those things are nothing but trouble.

Long since abandoned, but I'm thinking a nice drilled well nearby will get some nice capacity.

If I can get that high capacity, I'll put a big pump in (with a 3-phase motor, the sky is the limit, but I'll be nowhere near the sky). And that will mean a big pressure tank assembly.

I'll go with twin 100 gal pressure tanks near the well, or maybe less. Depends on the size vs how much "pump shed" I want to deal with.

729 Evenin' All,

Visited many pawn shops, only ever bought one thing: A copy of Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy. Vinyl was in excellent condition, the sleeve was beat to hell.

In other news, moved all our junk down to So Cal this past weekend. The 16-foot POD couldn't be dropped off at the house because the driveway was too short and the street was too narrow, so my bro and I had to make 3 to and from the PODS facility (10 miles one way) to shuttle all the stuff in a U-Haul. Fortunately I already had the U-haul, mostly to truck down Average Wife's sh*t load of plants, and to tow her VW Bug. Anyway, all (well, most) of our junk is down there now, and I'm back up here prepping the house for rental (crosses fingers).

Hope everyone here is A-OK and not coughing up blood.

It is not going to do any good I would not understand it if you did.

I just never go to a store to see what there is.

If I want or need something I know before I go to the store.

I might go to a restaurant to eat without knowing what I am going to have before sitting down but I never think "hey we should go into that restaurant to see if they have something."

My favorite scene was about the paint:

Muriel Blandings: I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green.

I snagged a Hayworth office chair (with armrests) from a yard sale, bout 10 years ago. Mint condition.

$5.

When it was new in the '80s, it cost about $500.

It's still as solid as a rock, and one of the most comfortable chairs, ever.

Quality, endures. (I'll use this quote more as I age, I'm sure) lol

Rhomboid, I know! It's the same up here. Was driving out to the coast to deliver a rabbit hutch to someone (I offered it for free on Nextdoor), since Average Wife and myself wanted to get out of the house. At the onramp to the main road out to the coast, an electronic road sign read "Are you more than 5 miles from home? If so, turn back". We didn't. We delivered the hutch. But all the residential streets near the beach were coned off, and there were dudes and dudettes in pickup trucks with county seals on them, checking papers, I guess. So we took a nice drive down the coast, and back home via the backroads.

789 It's always weird to see how people think.

I was just working on fractions til the middle of the night with the girl. I asked her "Which is greater? Three-fifths, or one-half?"

She answered correctly, so I did the same thing as when she's wrong, and asked her "Why?"

She said "because three is closer to five than one is to two."

It's completely right, but I never would have thought of it that way.

It's that she landed on the concept of equalizing denominators and comparing the resulting numerators without actually going through the process... I tried for fucking days to explain it. Then, this evening, she just hit on it, and answered all her stuff correctly. I thought she might have cheated, til she explained how she got to it.

800 It's a matter of confusing percentages and subtraction.

Saying thee difference between 5000 and 1000, and 5 and 1, is either the most incredibly stupid thing, or absolutely correct. If Trump said it, we know what the media would run with. Equally we know what they'd say if Biden said it. And in both cases they would say the answer is SCIENCE.

803 Y D, sorry, I don't get her 'logic'. So 3 is closer to 10 than 1 is closer to 10?

I get the 'equalizing the denominators' part. But I don't follow the rest of her 'solution'. Are you saying she's figuring 3/5 x 2/2 vs 1/2 x 5/5 to get an equal denominator and saying the 3 of 3/5 is closer to the 5 of 5/5 and the 1 of 1/2 is not closer to the 2 of 2/2? That seems . . . convoluted. Not to mention 3 is two away from 5 while 1 is one away from 2 which makes the latter 'closer'.

/What about 2/5?

841 Also I could be wrong, but I believe in 1979 or 1980, I had a kinda/sorta friend in PE class named Corey...

Anyway, I knew him for quite some time that school semester. Then he stopped showing up.

It turned out his father had kidnapped him. Bad custody battle. I also believe the dad shot Corey to death, then himself.

But I'm not 100% sure on those details. I am sure that I never saw Corey again.

844 Aetius, I do remember my mom sitting me down to talk about Corey at the time, once I told her I knew him. It was a big story in the Long Beach Press-Telegram. She wanted to make sure I didn't have any unresolved feelings about what went down.

I told her, I never felt I knew Corey that well, and although obviously it was bad he died, I wasn't personally any more perturbed than if I had read it about a kid I didn't know.

Maybe I'm just weird, but that was and is true.

Posted by: qdpsteve at April 25, 2020 03:42 AM (L2ZTs)

At one time during the affair,he told her he had seen his wife with another man, and she said he indicated he "was going to wrap her (Dawn) [the victim] in heavy chains and cement blocks and throw her into the lake where she would never be found."

908 Well, had two pound bags of carrots that I had to get cooked so I got some carrot soup going in the pot. Peeled and roughly chopped carrots, a small chopped onion, a few cloves of crushed garlic, a teaspoon of celery seed, 2 teaspoons better than bouillon beef, some grinds of white pepper and plenty of water to cover. I also toasted and ground about two teaspoons of cumin seed and am adding that judiciously in stages as it's powerful. Now to let the carrots get soft before I use the ol' immersion bender and adjust seasonings for taste.

Wanted something different so a variation on my carrot-ginger soup with better than bouillon chicken.

I've made sliced carrots with cumin and beef broth lots of times, just never a soup with the onion, garlic and celery seed. Small enough batch that if I don't like it, I won't feel bad.

911 Skip, the carrot-ginger soup is delicious. And it's quick to make. I've posted that recipe before and 'old dominion mom' said her family loves it as well. But you do need an immersion/stick blender as that makes it easy to make.

Just wanted to try something different today. Mostly because I didn't feel like getting all geared up to go to the grocery store for just a 3 to 4 inch finger of ginger.

912 Used to love cooked carrots. That's one of the foods that turned my stomach during chemo. 12 years later, still cant eat them unless they are very small and in something that has enough flavor to overpower them. Funny though, the taste of raw carrots ok.

944 The Covad models the guvmint uses have been wildly overstated from the start. Now as the numbers are only a fraction of what turned out so far, they are trying to cover their asses by changing the narrative.

The leftie press continues to spew the wildly overstated old information. Such as Progda saying a 3% death rate from Covad. A new study from NY is saying the number is more like 1 per thousand, or less. Not exactly a reason to destroy a country's economy.

I haven't seen the models this far off with the Chinavirus death march, since the models that had Hillary ahead of Trump by double digits and a 90% chance of victory.

I see parallels here in many ways. Most of them I'm guessing also are Global Warming fanatics.

946 The caveat here is that we want both law and order, and what we're seeing now strikes many of us as order without the backing of law, or worse, forced order in opposition to the rule of law.
________

Sorry, that's just wrong. What is described is not order at all, it's disorder. The whole statement fails by buying the left's belief that "order" means following the government's orders. No. Whitmer's arbitrary commands are not, in any sense, "order".

There is a very long history, from the right (and not just one strand of the right) trying to correct this. I hate to see it all forgotten.

960 Dude... this phenomenon has led to more arguments with the different women in my life, more than anything.

Before smartphones, I'd make a list on a Post-It, just like my mother taught me, buy the things, cross them off, and leave after paying.

After smartphones, it's even better. I can make lists categorized by part of store, with checkboxes, indents, contingent lists of other ingredients, and so on; the whole thing is awesome and I can sweep through the store efficiently using a simple notepad app.

But every woman I've ever been with violently abhors this practice. They refuse to even consider the idea that they should possibly navigate a supermarket in a planned way, instead of just roaming through it like a lion in the Serengeti.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at April 24, 2020 11:13 PM (BOr8Z)
---------------
If I had a nickel for every time I've implored my husband to stick to the list, I'd be rich.
"It wasn't *in addition to* the list: it was *separate from* the list." he argued when he came home, for the umpteenth time, with things not on the list while not getting everything on the list.
I'm in and out of Costco in 25 minutes with 6 kids in tow. And I stick to the list.
He also leaves lights on all over the house, and has gotten angry with me over something I did IN A DREAM HE HAD.

"You realize you're the woman in this relationship, right?" I said in exasperation one night, after turning off all the lights he'd left on.
That went over well.

He's pretty much stopped locking his keys in the vehicles, at least, but he still loses them regularly.
Put them in the same damn place every time and you'll always know where they are.
Is that really so hard?

Soups are so easy to make. Plus, canned soup has a ton of sodium and, being on a low-sodium diet due to a bad heart, I can control the sodium when I make soups.

Plus, most of the ones I make freeze well.

I've never bought progresso brands. I will have to give those a try. (I love tunafish sandwiches, too!)
Posted by: My life is insanity at April 25, 2020 06:01 AM (Z/jzm)

all my life, it was basic Campbell's Tomato, preferredly half water, half milk.

Got turned onto Progresso about 20 years ago, wife kind of changed out the brands and that was that.

And like Skip points out, they are open the can and heat up, like Chunky. That makes it super easy.

I try to get the details correct.

Various amounts that Nancy Pelosi paid for her Let Them Eat Ice Cream were all over the board, but here is the correct amounts.

There are 2 different ones, The Jeni was $13 a pint, and Nancy had about a dozen of various flavors with the lids showing.

On the left side, where she scratches some ice off the label to show James Corden and viewers, is actually a Gelato, and costs $17 a pint.

Just striving for accuracy.

That is one thing he does-hang them up on key rack. Mine go next to the coffee pot on the table near the door. Always. Everytime. And then when he would take my vehicle somewhere(..used to take, he's no longer driving...) and put my keys back in some random place and blame me for not hanging them on the key rack!

Drove me crazy
